One thing people need to realize, that many for some reason don't, is that the air doesn't compress itself! You don't fill your car by blowing into a straw. It needs a compressor, probably electric. Not that it's isn't better than our dependance on middle east oil but if it's electric then it's mostly coal that will be producing that electricity here in the US. The tree huggers might want to think about that before they go bashing coal or praising this car...
More trompe power stations everywhere ((literal free energy)) would easily take care of this, and btw it isn't 50miles per charge, air powered cars can get 200 to 300 miles per charge.
@aeroub The car is powered by part gas and part air compression. It gets about 200 mpg of gas. So it's next to zero pollution and less than coal.

Compressing air produces a lot of heat, wich is totally WASTED...

air power would do more for the environment than battery cars that are full of lead, nickel, cadinium, lithium and phosphates
